If you could be a fictional character for a day?

Who would you be and what would you do.

I would be Mystique from X Men and I'd just go around creating havoc.

I don't in any way resemble this person, but the character I would most like to identify with is Alexei Kirillovich Vronsky, a character from the greatest of Russian novels, Anna Karenina.

An unlikely and a hidden hero -- you have to search hard to find his salt -- he's not obviously heroic like Levin is; Vronsky is occasionally weak, ocasionally strong. He can be a pussycat or a tyrant as his circumstances demand. He has something nobody else in the novel has : balance. He is the balanced man, the sort of man whom Yeats idealised in his poems about Major Robert Gregory.

"Soldier, scholar, horseman, he,
And yet he had the intensity
To have published all to be a world’s delight"

I don't think any of us can live up to the standard set by Vronsky/ Major Robert Gregory. But it's probably worthwhile to have a go anyway.

FFS...you could have just said Superman as no one actually cares, it’s just a silly question but oh no you have to off at the deep end and get all philosophical and shiit.

Anyway I’d like to be Hulk.

You think I'm being unrealistic, but you have chosen a superhuman. At least my guy has human weakness!

I'm just saying there are realistic characters we can aspire to without resorting to superheros. If you're not interested in them that's obviously grand. Life's too short to get angry about other people's heroes.

Goes hand in hand with the “comic book” type, I’m afraid, ATNM. A very angry bunch when it comes down to it. But unable to loose the pent up rage inside in a “healthy” manner.

I mean, the “Hulk”. Really? A cursed character, the monstrous alter-ego who just “smashes” everything.

If you’re going to go down that route surely Stevenson’s “Mr. Edward Hyde” would be the better choice. At least you’d be “putting it about” on your nightly “adventures”. Same could be said for Wilde’s “Dorian Gray”.

But, alas, here we are. “Hulking” out with impotent rage.

Supergirl. She is beautiful, is clever, smart and can fly so ye I would be her. I think I would fly to a few cities and beeches around the world posing for the day with fans.

Sounds like you have some unresolved anger issues there branie2. Not me though, that's why I picked peace loving Jack Bauer.

And what would you do for your one day as Alexei Kirillovich Vronsky?

Take the Aston Martin out for a spin, engage in some high-tech spy skulduggery, an evening sipping martinis in a casino before heading back to my hotel suite with a Bond girl or two .

Yes, that would be the one I would choose, but please let me be her on the day she and Darcy finally get freaky. Not one of the thousands of sigh filled days of yearning. I wish those kind of dresses were still the fashion, and oh for heaving bosoms, constitutionals around the parkland, lovenotes, and dashing gentlemen kissing ones fingertips. Oh well.
